1953 Topps, 1955 Topps, 1957 Topps and 1965 Topps are my favorites.

My choice is based almost entirely on the nostalgia of Willie coming back home to New York (making kids across the boroughs go into a frenzy trying to get his card), so for me the best will always be this one...

Of course, second place goes to him actually donning the Mets uniform...

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Starts and ends with 1954 Topps IMO.

Default Favorite Mays

I have two that stand apart for me:

1. 1966 Topps (great ear to ear grin - and image reminds me of a "basket" catch)

2. 1971 Topps Super (sporting that tremendous pigeon-toed gait strolling in from CF)


Worst Mays? '61 Topps

I'm partial to his 1957 Topps, though if cost isn't an issue, 1951 Bowman.

Wrong, Peter!

There is no better looking Mays card than this one. The orange background makes the image of Mays really pop!
